It's a 1448, been looking for one for years. Priced one out new and it was over $4500, I got one for less than that but with some extras I don't need. My question is this, it came with a 25hp Mercury SS 4 stroke outboard, I think it might be a 2015, very low hours. I'm wondering what it's worth, if I should try to sell on my own or just go to a boat shop so I don't have to store it until spring (hard to sell in the fall). Outboard prices seem to be all over the place and I'm not sure if there's a shortage like there is with used cars and a bunch of other stuff.

Planning to paint with stencils before the season starts. I'll have to take some before and after pics.

Find the post on here ABOUT HOW TO PAINT A SHOTGUN or something like that. It looks so much better than the stencil, more natural . Much more simple to do and to touch up as well.
Have fun.

So, you want to sell the motor, but keep the boat? I bought a Lowe 1448 M with a Nissan(Tohatsu) 9.8 in 2008. With me and my gear, but no passengers it'll do close to 20 mph. The boat is rated for a 25 max. I would think a 25 would really move a 1448 along! When I bought the rig new at Cabelas including a trailer it was about $4000 total. The trailer was made by Karavan next door to you in Wisconsin(Fox Lake?)

Yep, I hardly ever use a motor and when I do it's a 2.5hp. Typically I hunt smaller ponds or places where you can't use an outboard. I also don't fish.

Depending on price I would be interested in the motor!

Dude I'd keep the motor, sell the haul and buy a 16'

Don't sell it to a dealer, they'll give you half or less than what it's really worth. That's how they pay the rent.

You won't likely have another chance to get a similar motor for a reasonable price so you might want to think about keeping it for a while before you commit to selling. Boat rides are fun! Especially a 25 on a 14 footer…. That thing will fly!

On the other hand, the market is fairly high these days so if you know you don't want it, it's a good time to sell stuff

So how in the heck do I get this thing off the transom? It weighs 150+ lbs and I don't have a motor jack.
